Shock accident at Merklingen: Drunk truck driver causes chaos!

A serious traffic accident occurred in the early afternoon at Drackenstein when a 46-year-old truck driver and his Mercedes got on the opposite lane in a slight right-hand bend. There he crashed into the VW Polo of a 30-year-old with full force, who landed through the impact in the ditch. The fire brigade had to save the trapped driver with the most serious injuries and take them to the hospital. The other two were lucky in misfortune; A 23-year-old was able to avoid another collision with his VW Touran and remained unharmed by an evasive maneuver with his VW Touran.

When the accident recording, the police officers noticed alcohol smell at the truck driver. A alkomatt test carried out showed a value that lies above the permitted. However, his driver's license was not insulted because he was already in official custody because of another crime. All three accident vehicles had to be towed.
